Baseball Instruction/Little League draft

Advertisement


Question
I know that if you are a coach, your son plays on your team.  My question is, if you coach and you do not have a son in the league, do you get a "coach's pick" before the draft begins?

Answer
Shawn,

That's a good question but I would refer to the league commissioner.  I am not sure if there is a rule for a coach and son to be on the same team and it may be unfair if you get a coaches pick because you are picking for talent and the fathers don't have a choice with their son.

Good Luck,
